Norma Precision

Norma Precision is a Swedish small-arms ammunition manufacturer based in Åmotfors, Värmland. The company traces its ammunition production to 1902 and remains centered on hunting, sporting, precision-rifle, pistol, revolver, rimfire, shotshell, component, and governmental small-caliber ammunition lines. Norma is part of Beretta Holding through the 2022 acquisition of RUAG Ammotec, which added Norma, RWS, Geco, and Rottweil to Beretta Holding's ammunition portfolio.

Norma's public company material describes headquarters and production in Åmotfors, about 400 kilometers west of Stockholm and near the Norwegian border. The company says the site employs about 240 people and manufactures roughly 30 million cartridges in more than 100 calibers for hunting and sport shooting, while Norma USA describes the Swedish factory as the historic base for a broader product range that now includes centerfire rifle ammunition, rimfire ammunition, pistol and revolver rounds, and reloading components.

For the catalog, Norma Precision is most relevant as a cartridge and ammunition producer rather than as a platform manufacturer. The existing 10mm Auto record links to Norma because public sources identify Norma as the cartridge's first commercial manufacturer, while the .300 Norma Magnum record links to current Norma product pages and standards sources for a modern long-range rifle cartridge family.
